Alessandro Barbero<\/strong> will return on Monday, December 15 to Teatro Donizetti in Bergamo (6:30 PM)<\/strong> to present his new book about Saint Francis. This special event is organized by the Teatro Donizetti Foundation in collaboration with Editori Laterza and is supported by Intesa Sanpaolo, BCC Oglio e Serio, and Sitip Spa.
\nAdvance tickets available from Wednesday, July 23<\/strong> at the Teatro Donizetti Box Office and online through Vivaticket. Tickets cost 15 euros. <\/p>\n

“We are delighted to announce the return of Alessandro Barbero to our theater, one of the most significant figures in Italian culture in recent years, a scholar and educator who can communicate great historical events and figures like no other” – comments Massimo Boffelli<\/strong>, General Director of the Teatro Donizetti Foundation – “Barbero was a hugely successful protagonist of the first edition of History Lectures<\/em> in 2024, and having him back with us for a special event, thanks to our well-established partnership with Editori Laterza, has special significance in reaffirming the importance and value of our cultural offerings.”<\/p>\n

During the \u201cmeeting, Alessandro<\/strong> Barbero<\/strong> will explore<\/strong> the many<\/strong> versions<\/strong> of Saint<\/strong> Francis’s<\/strong> life<\/strong> that have come<\/strong> down<\/strong> to us<\/strong>. Who was Francis of\u201d Assisi? Was he the person described in the biographies written by friars who \u201cknew him personally, or the one portrayed in Bonaventure of Bagnoregio’s biography written forty years after his death, or the one described in other texts that were discovered after they had been made to disappear? Barbero will show us the\u201d intricate hall of mirrors that has multiplied, fragmented, and ultimately constructed the story of the saint we all think we know. <\/p>\n
